2001 TVR Tuscan

Highlights

  • Unique green exterior with cream leather/green leather trim interior
  • Bonnet conversion completed by TrackvRoad
  • Comprehensive paperwork and history from previous registered keepers

The Appeal

The late 90s saw TVR riding on quite the high, and it's clear that the company were on a winning streak. What nobody quite expected was a watershed moment just before the new Millenia. Every TVR was no-excuses, but the Tuscan just seemed to take it all up a notch. 

Distinctively styled, with a drill-hole grille and a sonorous I6, the Tuscan was unapologetic in its eccentricity, and incredibly dynamic. The idea was to bring something that little bit more exciting to a market dominated by BMW and Porsche - and it couldn't be denied that they'd succeeded. 
This particular model, with its unique 'Crystal Verdi' paintwork, and duotone interior, is a standout example of the marque. The car has been meticulously maintained, and carries a reportedly accurate 25,252 miles on the clock. The bonnet conversion completed by TrackvRoad adds an extra touch of uniqueness to this already special vehicle.

History and Paperwork

  • Registered in 2001
  • All paperwork is up-to-date since purchase, including the history from previous registered keepers
  • The log book lists 4 registered keepers, but the 4th keeper was the current owner's husband. The car was transferred to the current owner's name but the address remained the same
  • Valid MOT until September 2024
  • Car indicates 25,252 miles on the clock

The Condition

  • Some age-commensurate wear and tear
  • Light stone chipping to the Crystal Verdi paintwork
  • However, other than this, the car is in superb fettle
  • Targa panels appear to be fitting well
  • Alloys in good order, shod with Toyo tyres
  • An independent mechanical has confirmed the underside is in good condition
  • Internally, the Tuscan is a particularly unique design
  • Cabin is curvaceous and stylish, with green carpets and parchment leather
  • New carpets were installed 4 years ago
  • Seats and footwells are carrying light wear
  • We've no reports of any technical issues inside the cabin

The Mechanics

  • 3,996cc I6 powerplant
  • Manual transmission with 5 gears
  • The catalytic converters have been removed but are stored in the boot of the car
  • An oil change was performed 1.5 years ago
  • The car has barely been driven since the last oil change
  • We understand the car to be driving very well with no mechanical issues 
  • MOT is advisory-free, which seems to support this nicely
  • Ultimately, this looks like a remarkable opportunity for any enthusiast
